You may be able to upgrade to an i5 CPU of the same generation and depending on the memory, you may be able to upgrade the RAM.  Certainly any spinning hard drive should be replaced with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

How much you want to spend on a notebook that old and low in value (perhaps $20) is a decision you'll have to make.

@ejn63​ To upgrade i can spend any amount just to run this laptop smoothly. I just want to run this laptop perfectly. 

Thanks,
